The Appeal of Ebony James is Available NOW

Appeal of Ebony James

 

Nikesha Elise Williams releases the sequel to Four Women today. It’s available from Amazon ibooks, on Kindle, or from Nikesha’s website.

The new book’s back cover reads:

Guilty. Not Guilty.

Those are the only options facing Ebony Jones. She is standing trial in the death of Judge Barker Gordon. A crime she says she did not commit. Defended by her boyfriend, and former State Attorney James Parnell, the two of them are left at the mercy of the jury. Do they believe Ebony is a cold and calculated killer, or a domestic abuse survivor defending herself the best way she knew how?

Supported by Judge Gordon’s ex-girlfriend, Soleil St. James, news anchor Dawn Anthony, emergency room surgeon Doctor Jonelle “Johnnie” Edwards and her estranged mother, Ayana Jones, Ebony must redefine her relationship with each woman as she grapples with the prospect of imprisonment. 

This contentious fate threatens to erode her relationship with James. As they unpack the roots of their relationship, the circumstances of Judge Gordon’s death, and what comes next, Ebony and James are forced to decide if what has kept them together is lust, love, or lies. In the fight for freedom, truth, and justice Ebony and James push the boundaries of their affection, and complicate the laws of their attraction, as they ask each other and are forced to answer: What’s the appeal?

“Brave Hearts – Ode to the Underground” Art Show and Book Signing

Brave Hearts

 

Here is what the artists/poets say on the Facebook event page:

“Margete Griffin and Darick Taylor have joined forces on 2 books called Ode to the Underground. Our art show will be a blend of both of our styles, using screen prints and photography!

Volume 1 is Brave Hearts: It’s a tribute to our music scene and features some of our tremendous musicians and music venues that are the lifeblood of Jax. We’ve included links to some of our favorites and a glimpse of the diverse indie bands here. There are so many great ones! Another book is sure to follow.

Volume 2 is Kit’nface Speaks. If you are concerned about the direction of Jax, this is a photographic journey with themes for you!

This show combines street style, fine art, and publishing to tell an irreverent but socially relevant tale about Jax culture and how we can keep it alive. I hope you can join us for the book launch and art opening on Sat. The 28th.”
